Special thank you salsa event

Keith Mckenzie • February 1, 2025

I was part of a special celebration event linked with the classes I have participated in.

The community dance classes "Salsa with Pauline" presents a special "Thank You" night in December 2024 at the Heartlands Social Club in Nechells, Birmingham to show special thanks and appreciation to everyone who has showed their support and appreciation since the classes began 6 years earlier in early 2018.

During the event, I assisted in teaching the newcomers and with dancers at the beginner level. As part of the night a specially extended social party and with special guests DJ's for the night.

This became the busiest gathering with large numbers of attendees.


As well as my participation, I also provided the marketing for the event with a special gold theme with celebratory visual effects. The layout of the posters with a new expansive concept to enable greater flexibility.


Context

Salsa with Pauline was created by developed Pauline Caffrey in 2018 with classes started in Perry Barr area of Birmingham at the Broadway Dance Centre. It began as a Saturday morning classes and exapnded to Sunday Mornings laterin the same year. Because of high number the Saturday classes moved to the Soho area at the Reminece Social Club. During the pandemic the Reminece Social Club closed down. During 2021 onwards Saturday classes returned to Broadway Dance Centre for a few months, then in the autumn the Saturday classes Moved to Lozells at the St. Pauls & St. Silas Church. In July 2023 the Friday Night Special was launched in Nechells at the Heartlands Social Club in Nechells. There was trial during the late autumn of 2023 for Wednesday classes at the Cape Hill area.  In April 2024 the Saturday classes moved to Nechells for a few months. The in mid 2024 the classes focuses on Fridays night only. I participated with the majority of the venues (except the trial classes at Cape Hill)

It is an honour to be a regular patricipant to this commumity based dance classes since when the classes began
